1. After you make a promise to someone, i.e. "I will send the documents to you", or "I will record the show on the DVR for you", before you forget, you send out the promise to that person through Hooplus. You can choose to deliver the promise through email or Facebook.

2. The other party will see the promise and choose to 'accept' or 'reject'.

3. You go ahead and fulfill that promise.

4. When you are done, send a notification through Hooplus to the promise recipient.

5. When the promise recipient verifies that you have kept your promise, you earn points.

Hooplus is a social app aimed to help people to keep
promises. Users will be able to send and request promises to each other and
acknowledge them when they are fulfilled. The percentage of execution will
translate into a trust/execution score for app users.

Why we built Hooplus?

This is an experiment, and we are inviting the world to
experiment with us. The answers we are trying to get are: 1. Can we help people
keep promises and improve relationships with a well-designed tool? 2. Can we digitize
trust and execution?

Where the idea came from?

When the founder, Jia Jiang, was working for a Fortune 500
company, he was frustrated by the people who couldn’t keep their promises. So
like all curious minds, he experimented. After he received promises from people,
Jia would ask them to send him emails for reminder. When people did that, Jia
analyzed the results and found that the fulfillment rates went up by 50%. So,
if this can be done by the terrible tracking system called email, a
well-designed app should do wonders. So, he quit his job and started working on
the solution.

Why we need your help?

We all make promises, and we have strong incentives to keep
them. Hooplus is an experiment to build an awesome tool, to improve
relationships, and to make the world a better place. We need your feedback on
how we can build this tool and make your lives better.
